Comparing endoscopic systems on two simulated tasks

Article Abstract:

The performance effects of various endoscope systems when naive participants executed tasks in a bladder-like environment are examined with three experiments. The results indicate that the participants performed the tasks better with video than with direct endoscopes, and showed more transfer of practice with video endoscopic surgery from a small to large task environment than vice versa.

On-line driver workload estimation. Effects of road situation and age on secondary task measures

Article Abstract:

Performance on two secondary tasks, and auditory and visual tasks assumed to be sensitive to mental workload of driving were assessed, and driving performance evaluated in terms of driving speed and deviation of driving speed. Visual and mental workload of driver were mostly determined by the type of road situation, and elderly drivers had less processing resources than younger drivers.

Ergonomics evaluation of picture archiving and communication system implementations in two x-ray departments

Article Abstract:

Digital imaging including Picture Archiving and Communication Systems were introduced in the x-ray department of two hospitals in the County of Stockholm. The study evaluates the ergonomics effects of this new technique and finds out whether the techniques are up to the standards of improved ergonomics and work environment.
